  Perhaps, instead of doing work to group extension commands by category, the commands should be grouped under the extension. Nearly all my (enabled and disabled) extensions have 5 commands or less; only evolve and mq have more (17 + 7 debug, and 26, respectively). (Almost) None of them use any command categories. Only GPG does, but that uses the same category for all its commands.
  
  The only reason that the help pages currently group extension functions by command category is that gendoc.py currently uses the same `commandprinter` function first to print the main command table, and then once per extension to render the extension's commands. I would be willing to separate that functionality so that extensions could have their own rendering function, which ignores categories. Shall I take that on?
